Who's the odd man out now?

Now that we have Lee who is the odd man out in the rotation? Lewis and Wilson are the only two who are locks to stay in, in my opinion. With Hunter playing well and Holland and Harden coming back from injury soon were going to have to kick one or two guys out of the rotation, two if we keep Tommy. Who is it gonna be?

My vote is send Feldman to the pen and keep Hunter up here and do something with Harden, not sure what though trade maybe? Give Holland the shot to stick when he comes back.

I truly think the Rangers will keep Feldman in the rotation. I personally would choose Holland for the fifth spot, however, I'm being honest with myself that Harden or Feldman will get the fifth spot and Holland will be in the bullpen when he gets back.

I don't know man. At least Feldman gives a damn when he's out there sucking, Harden seems like he doesn't care how he plays when he starts to blow. Due to this, Harden edges out Feldman by a hair for my vote.

Feldman will be moved to the pen and Nippert will be outrighted. Beltre is going to the minors, and I think Holland will get an extended minors assignment. The rotation will be Lee, Lewis, Wilson, Hunter and Harden until one struggles (Rich, I'm looking at you) at which point Holland will take his place. I have a lot of faith in Derek's ability.

I actually think Feldman will put things together for them in the next couple months and I feel after what he gave them last season they should give him some more leeway. He pitched well against Baltimore over the weekend, giving up only 2 runs over seven before Feliz gave up his lead. If you look at his stats last year http://espn.go.com/mlb/players/gamel...6384&year=2009he pitched some of his best baseball in July and August before hitting his innings max in Sept when he lost some games. He has a better attitude for this team than Dick Hardon does so I think they stick with Feldman and put Dick in the pen. He'll just get hurt again anyway.
